A process for regenerating a coked catalytic cracking catalyst which the carbon-containing deposits on the catalyst contains at least 1 wt % bio-carbon, based on the total weight of carbon present in the carbon-containing deposits is provided. Such coked catalytic cracking catalyst is contacted with an oxygen containing gas at a temperature of equal to or more than 550&#xb0; C. in a regenerator to produce a regenerated catalytic cracking catalyst, heat and carbon dioxide.

A method of purifying a vapor product stream obtained from cracking of biomass catalyzed by a fluidized solid catalyst is provided. The catalyst is separated from the vapor product stream to provide a de-catalyzed vapor product stream. Solid biomass residue is cyclonically separated from the de-catalyzed vapor product stream to provide a purified vapor product stream.

Separation of product streams

A process for converting a solid biomass material is provided. The solid biomass material is contacted with a catalytic cracking catalyst at a temperature of more than 400&#xb0; C. in a riser reactor to produce one or more cracked products. The riser reactor is an external riser reactor with a curve and/or low velocity zone at its termination and wherein a part of the catalytic cracking catalyst has deposited in the curve and/or low velocity zone.

Process for converting a solid biomass material

A process to prepare a suspension of solid biomass particles in a hydrocarbon-containing liquid for a catalytic cracking process is provided. A catalytic cracking process and subsequent processing of the cracked product from such suspension of solid biomass particles in the hydrocarbon-containing liquid is also provided.

Suspension of solid biomass particles in a hydrocarbon-containing liquid

A process for converting a solid biomass material by contacting the solid biomass material with a catalytic cracking catalyst at a temperature of more than 400&#xb0; C. in a riser reactor to produce one or more cracked products is provided, wherein the riser reactor is an internal riser reactor.

A liquid fuel composition containing a biofuel component, produced from a fraction of one or more cracking products produced by catalytic cracking of a biomass source. The liquid fuel composition contains in the range of 0.5 to 20 vol. % of C4-C8-olefins, which C4-C8-olefins contain in the range from equal to or more than 0.02 wt % to equal to or less than 100 wt % of bio-carbon, based on the total weight of carbon present in the C4-C8-olefins.

Liquid fuel composition

A process for converting a solid biomass material, comprising contacting the solid biomass material and a hydrocarbon co-feed with a catalytic cracking catalyst at a temperature of more than 400&#xb0; C. in a riser reactor to produce one or more cracked products, wherein the solid biomass material is introduced to the riser reactor at a location downstream of the location where the hydrocarbon co-feed is introduced to the riser reactor.

A process or a system for converting a solid biomass material is provided, comprising contacting the solid biomass material with a catalytic cracking catalyst at a temperature of more than 400&#xb0; C. in a riser reactor to produce one or more cracked products. The riser reactor contains: a riser reactor pipe, which riser reactor pipe has a diameter that increases in a downstream direction; and a bottom section connected to the riser reactor pipe, which bottom section has a larger diameter than the riser reactor pipe.

Conversion of a solid biomass material

Process to separate propene from gaseous fluid catalytic cracking products by performing the following steps: a) separating a feed mixture comprising the gaseous products, propene and other saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons obtained in a fluid catalytic cracking process into a hydrocarbon-rich liquid fraction and a hydrogen containing gaseous fraction, b) separating the hydrogen containing gaseous fraction into a hydrogen-rich gaseous fraction and a hydrocarbon-rich gaseous fraction by means of a membrane separation, c) supplying the hydrocarbon-rich gaseous fraction obtained in step (b) to an absorber section and obtaining in said absorber section a lower boiling fraction rich in gaseous products having a boiling point of ethane or below and supplying the hydrocarbon-rich liquid fraction obtained in step (a) to a stripper section and obtaining in said stripper section a higher boiling fraction comprising propene and hydrocarbons having a boiling point higher than ethane.
